Opening our Doors to the Community – 3rd Annual Open House

The New Directions for Women Annual Open House was held on August 26th from 5:00-7:30pm on our campus. Over one hundred guests joined us for a fun few hours of good company, give-aways, and freshly grilled food by our Executive Chef Eyal. This was the perfect event for some summer fun! While the adults shopped, children cooled down with Sno-Cones, and had a blast in the Bounce House! They also got to know Joyla the Clown, who loves to face-paint and make balloon animals. Guests won gift cards to In-N-Out, Boston Market, Costco, and other popular establishments, and one guest even left with a brand new Toshiba laptop! Repeat Boutique, New Direction’s upscale used clothing store, set up a “mini-boutique” for those shoppers who can’t get enough of the flagship store on 17th Street. Through opportunity drawings and Repeat Boutique sales, almost $800 was raised and went directly to New Directions for Women Foundation. We hope that memories of the pleasant evening will last forever.
